Wouldn't call what Sky were doing smart, leave Stannard on the front until he pops then the same with Hayman. Why wouldn't the 4 of them swap off? Rabobank wouldn't commit one of the two guys they had to help, disappointing.

Great ride by Hayman to finish 8th after all the work he did for the team. He is one strong hombre.

anyone know if there will be some highlights televised at all, I can't find any

I think Cycling Central website has a vid highlights package.

Boonen monstered it, smashed the chasing groups. Those cobbles puts each rider out there on their own, no point in finding a wheel to suck, no lead out man to pull you along, it's all about how much of the hammer you can take.

Thanks toolonglegs,Not for me just wanted a idea of bounce and control problems they go through. Considering frames and alike can collapse.I keep replaying Hell of North and cant believe the arm vibrations . One amazing race.

Would have been good to see Fabien ride through the cobbles on the new Trek... looked like it has a hell of a lot of vertical compliance!.Laughed at Cannondale with the disc equiped bike on the team car .
